CI/CD stands for Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment. By continuous integration, we mean that developers push the code to a common source code repository for eg: GIT, GIT HUB, BIT Bucket etc. and as soon as the code is pushed the code testing or build server checks the code which can be done on various platforms like Jenkins, AWS Code Build, etc. Once the code goes through testing the developer will get feedback about his code whether it worked or not. It helps developers to find and fix bugs at the initial stage and deliver code at a faster rate.
Azure DevOps is a platform developed by Microsoft which works for almost any language targeting any platform.
